Anyone else have this color? It seems OK indoors but outdoors it looks more tan than silver.

Default I've seen it - gold tinge to it ...
and pretty ugly IMO. No wonder it's been on the lot forever - bet they'll sell it well below invoice.

Not the most attractive color and, given your post, I wouldnt advise you jumping on it.

it looks like a beige without enough metallic in the paint, very dull...

Default I havent seen it..but wanted it from the pictures
I would have wanted it with beige interior, but never saw it in real life.

Default BMW had a color called Bronzit ...
that was similar, but Sahara really is more silver than gold, but definitely has gold/tan in it. Ice Silver (like I have) is just so much cleaner and looks great on a TT.
